Körber Schleifring becomes 'United Grinding, Körber Solutions'
'United Grinding, Körber Solutions' is the new moniker for Körber Schleifring, which was also known as the Schleifring Group.
The announcement, made at last month's EMO manufacturing technology show, in Hanover, Germany, states: "We want to strengthen the group brand on an international scale and be perceived more clearly as the worldwide leading provider in hard fine machining. The renaming of the company to United Grinding is how we have realised this goal."
In fact, the name is a merging of Körber Schleifring and United Grinding Technologies USA. The new name will be supplemented with the phrase 'Körber Solutions', to emphasise its focus on customer-oriented solutions.
United Grinding, Körber Solutions comprises the brands Studer, Mägerle, Blohm, Jung, Schaudt, Mikrosa, Walter and Ewag.
The renaming has no material effect in the UK; sales channels remain unchanged.
